160 Versions of Todd Colby's "Cake"

208 Versions of Todd Colby's "Cake"

For the past ten years, I've been playing a rant by Todd Colby called Cake each week on my show. Needless to say, it's become a Kenny G classic. After the jump are 160 versions of "Cake" done by you, the WFMU listenership. Thanks to all who participated. Just amazing!

I'm so full of cake.
If I eat any more cake I'd have to vomit first.
Sometimes I'll eat 2 or 3 cakes in a single day.
I love cake!
I can't be any clearer than that.
I love cake!
I'll eat every cake in New York City.
I can't even go into bakeries anymore because I'll eat all the cake.
I'll say "Where's the cake? Gimme the cake! Get the cake!"
And they say, "We know how very much you love cake, and we know you very rarely have the money for any of our cake, so get outta here, because you can't afford our cake! But we know how much you love cake, so get outta here, you can't afford the cake!"
I'll punch somebody in the head for some cake.
Give me all your cake!
I love cake!
Gimme the cake!
Now!
I love it!
I love cake!
Gimme your cake!
[sinister laugh]

Who is this "Todd Colby"? Could it be the son I abandoned 43 years ago in Minnesota? How can I confirm this? Our family has loved cake for thousands of years. Does he have a birthmark on his lower back in the shape of Laura Bush?
Please help!

"In the Merry Month of Cake" - I'm stunned.
Henry Youll was my great-great-great etc etc Grandfather and wrote "In the Merry Month of May" in 1608. I cannot say how brilliant it is to hear the caked-up version. Thank you!

"... a little rant about accuracy and aspiring to be correct. Following in the tradition of good rant interpretation, it was immediately recorded by some fans. The project was then opened up to the world, including you, yes you! Let off a little steam, go crazy and perform your own audio interpretation of the rant."
